Application filed May? 22, 1918. Serial No. 235,960.

T 0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, PEnEn PEnERsEN, a citizen of'the United States, residing at Myrtle Point, in the county of Coos and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cutting-Tools, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cutting tools and more particularly toa nut cutter. One object of the invention is to provide a tool adapted particularly for cutting nuts from bolts after the nuts have become rusted upon the bolt and removal in the usual manner is not possible. A further object is to provide a device of this type that is simple in construction, POSltlW-B IIL operation and cheap to manufacture. With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claim and illustrated in the acconannyzng drawing which forms a part of this specification and in which- Figure 1. is a view of my improved nut cutter in side elevation.

Fig. 2 is an edge view of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional vlew, enlarged. illustrating the manner in which the knife is secured to the screw.

Fig. 1 is a side view of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is an edge view of the knife guide view The reference numeral frame which and interio threaded head 2 and with the perforated foot 3 in alinement with said head. The frame is formed of a single casting substantially l-shaped and is preferably made in such size as to permit its dis-- position in a very small space enabling an operator to use it in quarters ordinarlly difficult of access. A screw 4 carried in the head 2 is formed with a square head 5 wherein the apertures 6 are formed and said screw is formed at its opposite termination with a recess 7 to receive the shank 8'of a 1 denotes s formed with the perforated knife 9 which knife is formed with the cutting blade 10. The said shank 8 is formed with an annular groove 11 to receive the screw 12 which is disposed in a perforation formed in the said screw 4.

The said knife 9 beyond the termination of the screw 4 extends through. a screw guioe 13 the shank of which extends through the frame 1 and is retained in position by means of the nut 14. Another knife blade 15 is carried by the foot 3, said blade 15 being formed with the shank 16 disposed in the perforation formed in said foot 3, said shank being retained in position by means of the screw 17 disposed in an aperture formed in said foot. The frame 1 is carried by means of the handle 18 which is connected thereto by pivot 19,'and the screw 4: is operated by means of the detachable handle 20 adapted for insertion in either of the apertures 6 of the screw head 5; In operation the nut to be cut is engaged by the blades 10, 15 and the handle 20 is then manually rotated to force said blades together thus cutting the nut from its bolt.

JVhat is claimed is In a cutting tool, the combination of a C shaped frame, longitudinally alined, perforated, head and foot portions integrally formed on said frame, the perforation in said head being threadec. an operating screw carried by said head through the perforation therein, a screw guide having a shank disposed through the body of said frame and detachably secured therein, a knife having a shank disposed through said guide and detachably secured to said screw. a knife having a shank disposed in the pen fora tion of said foot portion and detachable therefrom, the blades of said knives being in opposed alinement, and a handle on the PEDER PEDERSEN.
